Chapter 105 See you again on the banks of the Marne River(1/2)
Yang Jian was keenly aware of Wei En's frustration through the short live broadcast. Although Wei En could not hear what he said now, he still encouraged him:
"From his debut to now, we have seen scenes of Wei En being high-spirited and scolding Fang Qiu, but we have never seen him look so lost."
"Since the National Youth Championships in April last year, Wei En has never failed on the 100-meter track. He even defeated Asafa Powell, one of the [Three Hundred Meters Musketeers of the World] not long ago. But today,
He lost to Usain Bolt."
"In fact, losing to Bolt is not a big deal, because he is already synonymous with [speed] and is the fastest human being on the planet. I hope Wei En can understand that he is not yet 19 years old and has a long, long time ahead of him."
There is still a long way to go, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.”
"It is advisable to open up your mind and body, to light up the youthful mind, and to magnify the spirit of a man of lofty ideals; it is not advisable to belittle oneself and be secretly frustrated, so as to block the road to progress..."
The next day, Wei En learned from Sister Ru Yi that Yang Jian encouraged him during the broadcast commentary, and made a special international long distance call to thank Yang Jian.
In fact, Wayne's mentality has been adjusted very well. He has a clear understanding of his own strength and knows how big the gap is between himself and Bolt now.
No matter how far he can grow in the future, at least this year he is not qualified to challenge Bolt. At most, he will have a 40-60, or even a 30-70 draw with Powell, who is still in a weak state.
In the international arena, his real opponent is someone else, a Jamaican who is less than three years older than him and is known as "talented second only to God."
The Montreux track and field competition started on June 7. Wei En originally signed up because it was close to Beaune-sur-Marne and the time was just right.
But what I didn't expect was that, unintentionally, I woke up early this morning and saw a very familiar name suddenly added to the list of the men's 100-meter event at the Montreux track and field competition:
yohan ke!
------------------
The football atmosphere in European countries is extremely strong, and the track and field atmosphere is also much higher than in Asia.
Since Liu Xiang often came to Europe to participate in events such as the Golden League a few years ago, the national track and field team rented a track and field field for Liu Xiang in Paris so that he could participate in major events with Paris as the center.
Two or three years have passed, and the track and field field that was originally rented has naturally expired, but it is not difficult to rent it again. When Wei En was still competing in Rome, the national track and field team wanted to transfer the track and field field to the Paris Embassy through the Paris Embassy.
The venue was rented.
However, today is different from the past. The track and field now belongs to the Paris City Hall and is specially allocated to the French national track and field team for training purposes. It is impossible to rent the entire track.
But the good news is that after learning that the Chinese track and field team was looking for a training venue for Wei En, the French national track and field team generously stated that Wei En can use the track and field and other equipment and facilities free of charge during his participation in Europe.
So after flying from Rome to Paris, Wynn officially became friends with Lemaître, Jimmy Vicott and others of the French team. When training on the same content, Wynn would join their team and practice together.
As for whether his skills will be stolen?
In fact, there is no need to consider this kind of problem at all. If the coach of the French national track and field team really has that ability, his technical characteristics and details can be analyzed directly through high-definition pictures of Diamond League and other events.
Not only him, but also Usain Bolt, Powell, and Tyson Gayin. Are there not enough track and field experts around the world to analyze it? I don’t know of any country other than Jamaica and the United States that can produce people who can run under 9.80 seconds.
historical player.
On the afternoon of June 2, Wei En suddenly said that he wanted to go out for a walk and play.
Du Jinchen and Li Yu said, "Okay, okay," and then went to change clothes in the dormitory, only to find that Wei En and Ru Yi had "abandoned" them.
When Du Jinchen called Wei En angrily, Wei En and Ru Yi had already boarded the intercity bus bound for Beaune-on-the-Marne.
The first thing Du Jinchen said when he came up was: "Wei En, although this is in Europe, it's better for you to take it easy. Your sister Ru Yi already has a husband. She is 10 years older than you.
suitable!"
Wei En had a black line on his face, "Uncle Du, it's not what you think. I'm going to find a friend who is unfamiliar with the place. I'll just ask Sister Ru Yi to be my tour guide."
"Friend? Do you still have friends in Europe? Are you kidding me?" Du Jinchen said earnestly: "They are all men. Uncle Du can understand, but..."
"Okay, Uncle Du, the place I'm going to is called Beaune-sur-Marne, which is only 13 or 14 kilometers away from Paris. When I arrive in a while, I'll take a photo for you, so you'll know if what I said is true.
Already."
Wei En comforted Du Jinchen, but he didn't expect such a misunderstanding to arise.
It's not that Wei En didn't explain it in advance, but that his schedule needs to be reported to the leaders. After all, no one wants anything to happen to him, the darling of the track and field team.
It's okay to walk around and have fun in Paris after training, but leaving the training venue and running to other provinces is a bit "disciplined".
"You..." Du Jinchen sighed, "Wei En, Uncle Du is not an unreasonable person, but you did not do this right. Well, you go call Director Feng and report to him.
Take a moment, otherwise if something happens, neither you nor I, Brother Li Yu, will be able to shoulder the responsibility."
"Okay, I'll call him now."
After speaking, Wei En hung up the phone, then made an international long-distance call to report to Feng Shuyong that he had left the training base without permission.
Feng Shuyong didn't have any objections. He just gave Wei En and Ru Yi a little warning and told them to pay attention to their safety.
"It's okay to go out and have fun after training. When that kid Liu Xiang was participating in various competitions in Europe, he often sneaked out. I always thought you were more sensible than the original Liu Xiang, so if you get tired of training in the future, change to someone else.
If the environment is relaxed, just report it."
"Du Jinchen and Li Yu are also people in your team. Since you want to go out for fun, bring them with you. This way the team can be more harmonious and your safety can be more guaranteed, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Director Feng." Wei En thought for a while and realized that Feng Shuyong's words did make sense. He did not do the right thing this time, so he quickly apologized.
Feng Shuyong on the other end of the phone said: "The person you want to apologize to is not me, but Du Jinchen and Li Yu. When you return to Paris, treat them to a good meal and take them to taste a French meal. This is the right thing to do."
"Yes, yes, please, please, make sure the arrangements are comfortable and clear for them."
Wei En ended the conversation with a joke, and then asked Ru Yi to book a French restaurant and prepare to comfort Uncle Du and Li Yu when they go back tomorrow.
This incident shows that he has not yet changed from his past role positioning.
He went to two competitions last year, the World Youth Championships, with the Chinese track and field youth team, and Chen Wenzhong took him with him. Even though he didn't understand anything, everything was arranged.
Now he has a small team, and the people in this team revolve around him and rely on him for food. They are people on the same boat.
The ship was originally temporarily docked at a port, but as a result, the captain suddenly boarded another ship to explore without any warning. Of course, the crew would misunderstand and become emotional.
Although Beaune-sur-Marne belongs to the Val-de-Marne department, it is still very close to Paris, so it does not take much time.
…
The competition level of the Beaune-sur-Marne International Invitational Tournament is at the same level as the Kingston International Invitational Tournament in Jamaica, but events of the same level do not necessarily mean that the competitive level of the event is also at the same level.
Following Maria's message on Twitter, it took Wayne more than an hour to find the venue where she would compete this afternoon.
The competition venue for the men's and women's high jump and pole vault events is not in the stadium. Instead, a temporary competition venue is set up in a small square on the bank of the Marne River, and 600 seats are temporarily built for watching the competition.
Since the level of the event is not high, there are no big-name sports stars participating, and it is an open-air venue with limited conditions, the number of spectators is naturally very different from high-level events like the Diamond League.
But despite this, the atmosphere at the scene was still very strong, which is rare to see in Asian countries, and made Wei En very envious.
"Don't tell me, this is my first time watching a track and field competition at such a close distance. It's quite interesting."
Ru Yi followed Wei En to the seat reserved in advance and sat down, looking around curiously.
She has rich experience in team management, but she has always followed a large team. Going to a small international event that she had never heard of before, and watching such a unique open-air competition really made her feel
Very novel.
"Actually, this is my first time to watch such a game live. I have only seen it on TV before." Wei En replied, but his eyes were already fixed on Maria in the competition venue.
275 days and nights have passed since last year’s Youth Olympic Games.
Although he kept in touch through the Internet and exchanged messages on Twitter almost every day, Wei En's heart was still beating hard when he saw her again after 275 days.
"I'm a little fatter, not so thin anymore." Wei En said to himself after observing Maria carefully.
"Why am I fat? I haven't eaten much lately, how could I be fat?" Ru Yi thought Wei En was talking about her, and immediately became suspicious of life.
"I didn't mention you, Sister Ru Yi..." Wei En smiled, pointed at Maria who was about to come on the stage, and said, "Aren't you curious who the friend I came here to meet is? Well, it's her.
"Yeah."
Ru Yi looked in the direction Wei En pointed and saw a white girl with "kua" printed on her chest number. After thinking for a while, she immediately remembered who this was.
She was also a member of the Chinese delegation at the Singapore Youth Olympic Games last year and participated in the management of the Chinese women's swimming team. Although she has nothing to do with track and field, she has heard about this Russian girl named "Kulkina" through some event reports.
Los Angeles female high jumper.
"It turns out it's her!" Ru Yi looked at Wei En with a smile, patted his arm and said, "You can do it! She usually keeps quiet, but she actually started a cross-border relationship with a girl from Erlos? With such a figure
, Not bad~”
While talking, Maria had already completed a trial jump, easily jumping over a height of 1.81 meters, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
Since athletes in field events take turns to perform trial jumps and throws, and only one athlete's performance can be seen at a time, the intensity of the competition is much less intense than in track events, and the audience rarely shouts or screams.
Mostly applause.
However, amidst the applause, a loud shout suddenly sounded:
"Maria! I love you!"
Maria, who had just left the sponge cushion, was startled, but suddenly felt that the voice was familiar, and immediately looked towards the audience.
There was no need to search. Wei En had already stood up. With his 1.88-meter tall body and handsome face, he stood out in the crowd.
Not only that, he also held a sign in his hand that read: "Love u kua!"
Maria first covered her mouth and smiled in surprise, then picked up her arrogant temper and rolled her eyes beautifully at Wayne.
Wayne knew the principle of "too much is not enough", so he restrained himself a little in the next period of time, no longer shouting wantonly, but joined other audience members in applauding Maria.
